Detailed Solution

Given equation of line is 2x+3y+1=0.

Given points are A2,0, B0,2.

Let the coordinates of point P is h,k.

Let PAB forms a triangle as with any three points we can form a triangle.

In a triangle the difference between two sides should be less then the third side.

|PA-PB|<|AB|

Let the three points PAB are collinear.

Then the difference of PA and PB will be AB.

|PA-PB|=|AB|

By combining above two statements we can say that |PA-PB||AB|.

Thus, maximum value of |PA-PB| is |AB|, which is possible only when P,A,B are collinear.

The value of AB=2-02+0-22=4+4=8=22.

As maximum of |PA-PB| is |AB|=22,

|PA-PB|=22

The equation of line AB will be

y-0=2-00-2x-2 x+y=2

As P,A,B are collinear, the point P lies on AB, and also P lies on 2x+3y+1=0.

h+k=2, 2h+3k+1=0

By solving above equations we get values of h,k.

As h=2-k from first equation, by substituting it in second one we get,

22-k+3k+1=4-2k+3k+1=5+k=0 k=-5.

As k=-5h=2--5=2+5=7.

Then, the coordinates of point P7,-5.

Thus, the coordinates of point P is 7,-5 and maximum value of |PA-PB| is 22.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
